Kind regards, Jeroen Moolenschot")* Hi, The first weight unit in the list of the configuration becomes the main one of your shop. So you configured "kg" as the main one. On the product page, you see Doos because the page is relative to this product. However, once the product is in the cart, the weight of all the products are converted to the main weight unit so that the total weight of the cart can be calculated for the shipping methods. And since HikaShop doesn't know how to convert a doos to a kilo, it just use the same value. If you scroll down on your var_dump, you should see an attribute product_weight_unit_orig which contains the weight unit before the conversion, as well as a product_weight_orig with the weight before the conversion. It seems that you've customized product / listing_price to display product_weight_unit after the product price. So you'll need to amend your code to display product_weight_unit_orig if available and if not product_weight_unit so that you can get the display you want.

Kind regards, Jeroen Moolenschot")* Hi, I see what the problem is. Change the code: Code: $product->product_weight_orig = $product->product_weight; $product->product_weight_unit_orig = $product->product_weight_unit; to: Code: if(!isset($product->product_weight_orig)) $product->product_weight_orig = $product->product_weight; if(!isset($product->product_weight_unit_orig)) $product->product_weight_unit_orig = $product->product_weight_unit; in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/cart.php and it should be fine. We'll make that change on our end too for the next version of HikaShop.
